Got this pellet stove thing figured out, 2 stoves, 1 electric hot water heater and zero oil usage. I like it that way!
Now, my now backup heat is forced hot water by oil. The boiler is probably 35 years old. It is still running good and as long as I'm here won't be used much. I have noticed, in areas where there is natural gas available, people are changing there oil boilers to gas. I live in the mountains of NH, gas won't be here in my lifetime.
So, I see a lot of relatively new (4 to 10 years) oil boilers being sold for about $500. Should I think about picking up one of these and having it installed or just stay where I am as who knows what is going to happen with oil. With installation, I'm guessing I'd be spending $1000.
